Disappointing

The food wasn't good.
It's was. Mostly cold , potatoes weren't cooked enough and the flavor was disappointing.
I are in much better Ethiopian restaurants

Delicious

It’s been a while since I have had ethiopian food. Too often it has been bland or oily. Not so at Ghenet. Everything tasted fresh, well seadoned, distinctive. Not oily at all. The vegetarian combo for three was generous and totally delicious. The setting is cozy. The service was efficient. Happy Cow only allows 5 stars if fully veg or vegan - would be 5 stars if permitted. Looking forward to coming back.

Great food

We got an appetizer and the vegan combo for 2, and it was enough to feed two adults and two kids. The food was excellent. It was a particularly cold day and the heat didn’t seem to be on. Also, the server could have been more attentive. Overall a very positive experience.

Pros: Excellent food, Vegan items clearly marked

Cons: A bit pricey, Service was lacking

Delicious and kid friendly

All the veg are delicious and crowd pleasing. The spicier dishes are not so hot that they scare people off, but pack enough flavor to be interesting. Kids obviously love eating with their hands. Order two separate veg platters and you can get nearly everything they offer.

Pros: You eat with your hands, Great value, Friendly

Cons: Serve meat and fish

A wonderful experience

Ghenet was a great time, the menu offers more vegan options than meat based ones. Try the combination plates for the full experience. The staff are gracious and knowledgeable. A must stop in Brooklyn.

Delicious Ethiopian vegan dining

Excellent food, well spiced, cooked just right. Had the combo platter for one, for which one could choose Four entrees from the vegan/vegetarian menu. Had the gomen- collard greens, cooked just right, not mushy, nor crisp, well seasoned with mild Berbere spices; Missir wett - slow cooked, Berbere spiced lentils; Atkelt wett - cabbage, potatoes & carrots in a carmelized onion sauce, & Engouday wett - spiced Berbere sauces mushrooms; all on injera.
Non vegan dining companions had combo platter consisting of two meat items & four vegetables, on injera, which they enjoyed. Dessert items included sorbet as vegan option, which they were out of when we visited. They also have baklava, but it has honey.
In an up and coming neighborhood of Brooklyn. We walked over, so no parking issues. Plentiful on street parking, just read the signs for restrictions.
Moderate pricing for NYC, expensive in comparison to other cities.
Serves meat, fish. Very vegan friendly with 8-10 vegan menu entrees.
Friendly, knowledgeable service, convenient corner location, family friendly.

Pros: Good vegan entree selection, Friendly knowledgeable staff, Convenient location

Cons: Not 100% vegan, Serves meat, fish

Five star Ethiopian

Best Ethiopian in NYC. A good portion of the menu is specifically vegan, and the servers can answer any questions about some items they can make without kibbeh (butter). Consistent, delicious food. The owners are super friendly, the staff is nice and helpful. Decor is good, and they have a nice back room for when they're busy.
What more to say? I can't recommend this place highly enough! I've eaten Ethiopian for years, all over the East coast - Philly, D.C., and Baltimore have the absolute best, but Ghenet definitely holds its own. Dreamy and delicious!

Pros: Food!, Service, Reasonably priced

Cons: No delivery
